Wiz Khalifa's performance in an Indiana town was interrupted by an in-crowd disturbance on Friday night.
In a social media statement, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the disruption took place at section 5 on the lawn of the Ruoff Music Center, where the "Black and Yellow" rapper, 34, was performing, around 10:30 p.m. local time.
"Security staff responded quickly, and all the subjects nearby began exiting the area on foot," authorities wrote, noting that an "emergency action plan was initiated and followed."
Police also said that "all gates including non-public exits were opened," allowing concert attendees to self-evacuate. Three individuals reported minor injuries and were transported to area hospitals, per authorities.
"Police staff deployed multiple quick response teams and swept the area," the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office continued in its statement, adding that "no weapons were found" on the premises.
